PHYTO Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color - 1 Black | Ammonia‑Free, 100% Grey Coverage with Botanical Pigments

PHYTO Phytocolor Permanent Hair Color in 1 Black is a plant-pigment enriched permanent dye that delivers full grey coverage and luminous, natural-looking black in a single at-home application.

PHYTO brings over five decades of botanical haircare expertise to an at-home permanent color formulated to be effective yet respectful to hair and scalp. The kit pairs a chromatic coloring cream with a developer and a protective color mask, using pigments derived from dye plants to produce deep, dimensional black with bright reflections. It’s designed to cover 100% of grey hair from the first use while avoiding common harsh additives like ammonia, PPD and resorcinol.

How long does the color take and how durable is the result?

The full coloring process takes about 30 minutes once mixed and applied according to the instructions. Results are permanent in the sense that the new pigment deposits within the hair fiber; color longevity depends on hair porosity, maintenance routine and shampoo frequency.

• Application and develop time: approximately 30 minutes.
• Permanent deposit into the hair fiber for long-lasting tone.
• Color retention improved with the included protective mask and gentle care products.
• Avoid frequent clarifying shampoos to preserve intensity longer.

What makes the formula gentler than traditional permanent dyes?

Phyto emphasizes botanical pigments that envelop the hair shaft, providing vivid color without relying on ammonia, PPD or resorcinol. The absence of those chemicals reduces harsh odor and can be less irritating for many users, while the included mask helps replenish fiber and surface shine after processing.

• Plant-derived pigments sourced from dye plants for layered depth.
• Ammonia-free formulation to limit strong scent and dryness.
• PPD- and resorcinol-free to avoid two common synthetic dye agents.
• Color-protecting mask included to smooth and enhance brilliance.

Will this product cover stubborn grey and what degree of natural finish should I expect?

PHYTO Phytocolor 1 Black is formulated to cover 100% of grey hair at first application, delivering a natural-looking black with bright, reflective undertones rather than a flat, artificially dark appearance. Coverage effectiveness can vary slightly with hair texture and the proportion of resistant white hair.

• Designed for complete grey coverage from first use.
• Botanical pigments create multi-dimensional shine rather than a single flat tone.
• Best results on previously untreated or evenly colored hair.
• For very resistant greys, follow skin sensitivity test and instructions for optimal uptake.

How do I use the kit safely at home and what’s included?

The kit arrives with a developer bottle, a coloring cream, a color-protecting mask, gloves and a detailed instruction leaflet. Perform a skin sensitivity test 48 hours prior, mix the cream with the developer as directed, apply evenly, time the processing interval, then rinse and treat with the supplied mask to seal the color.
